You guys.. I'm honestly lost for words. Jo Robertson is on the pod, and I'm cheesing so hard about it. If you can't tell by the grin plastered on my face throughout the whole episode, Jo is a bit of a personal inspiration for me professionally. She has done some seriously, seriously impressive work in the child advocacy and parenting education space, but she makes it so easy to digest! Her communication skills are next level, and you'll see those skills on display in this ep. 




Jo was so generous with her story, and even though she is the literal expert on parenting, she was so honest about how she isn't perfect. I think that it is so important for us to see that not even parenting experts get it right all the time, because there is actually no way you can. 




Also, Jo is such an interesting person that during her introduction I forgot to mention that she has done a TED talk AND was an expert on MAFS NZ?!! Can you imagine being decorated enough that those things can be left out in an introduction and you STILL have a full intro? Wild. Simply wild. 




A small content warning that during the first question segment, Jo talks about a tricky birth and a tricky recovery. If those topics are hard for you to hear right now, please look after yourself and skip forward.

Why Do You Parent Like That is a parenting podcast with one set of questions and one million ways to parent. Join host (and ya new bestie!) Abbey Harrison as she interviews a new parent each week and asks them the same five questions. The goal is to hear how wildly different answers to the same questions are depending on who is answering them. As a parent it's easy to feel like everyone is parenting the same way except for you, we're here to show you that that's not true! This pod is all about celebrating and learning from alllll kinds of parenting. We are stoked to have you here!
